    OOPS! Forgot to wipe the stopper...

    Well bros, this is my first cycle and I was just about to do my third inject thinking maybe I'd finally gotten the hang of it when I suddenly realized I'd forgotten to wipe the stoppers of both my T En and EQ vials before injecting the air and drawing out.

    What's the consensus? Should I toss the possibly-contaminated vials and order new ones or not worry about it? Fortunately I've got another vial of each since I'm just starting and I guess I'll draw from them tomorrow after I've calmed down. I'd hate to have to buy new ones but I'd sure hate more getting and infection.

    Boy do I feel like an idiot. I've got a filled syringe with the injecting needle still capped sitting there right now looking confused.

    Thanks bros!

    Jam the shot right into your spleen, then you'll make sure all the bacteria goes right into your disease control center....

    Hey maybe your spleen will get all juiced up too and they can find sorts of new cures from it!

    Wow I havent slept enough....

    Okay, okay, I went ahead and used the syringe I'd set aside last night.

    But if I drop dead, boy are you guys going to hear from me! ;-)

    There was a study a few years back which concluded that there was no infection rate difference by injecting through clothing rather than on bare, swabbed skin.

    Yeah, I used it! See my post earlier.
    Injections just scare the bejesus out of me but I think I'm finally getting the hang of it.
    I wasn't even sure I could leave a syringe overnight and use it next day so THANKS AGAIN, ya'll, for the info.
